The Houthis and Gulf War III: An Interview with Yemen Expert - Michael Horton
Thursday, 2 April, 2026
Hi everyone,Welcome to the 27th episode of my Eyes on Eurasia podcast. Today, we are looking at an area of Eurasia that is back in the news: the Horn of Africa, and I am going to examine the Houthis of Yemen. Recently, after a month-long wait to enter the war, the Houthis have launched a series of missile attacks on Israel in the past week, joining the regional conflict between the United States, Israel, and Iran. Despite a month of silence since the start of Gulf War III, one of the key questions Middle East experts are asking is how far the Houthis are willing to go in the ongoing Gulf War between the US, Israel, and Iran.Helping us to understand this question in an extended in-depth discussion is long-time Yemen expert Michael Horton, who joined my podcast. Michael is a noted expert on Yemen and the co-founder of Red Sea Analytics International (RSAI). Michael specializes in security, conflict, and political risk across the Middle East and Horn of Africa — regions where he has spent years conducting field-based research and assessment. He has advised senior members of the U.S. and U.K. governments and is a frequent visitor to the region.Michael recently wrote a detailed assessment of the Houthis for the Combating Terrorism Center at West Point, which was featured in their March 2026 CTC Sentinel that examined the state of the Houthis and their tribal alliances. He also wrote an assessment of Saudi Arabia’s strategic approach to the Yemen conflict for The Saratoga Foundation that offers an assessment of the changing Saudi approach to the Houthis after their intervention last year, including a glimpse at the Houthi leadership and their attacks on Red Sea shipping.
